Character Modeling: Assignment #2 - Door Knocker and Start Base Mesh

Door Knocker Reference:


Door Knocker Zbrush:



Eddie Knockback Character Model:

I decided to keep the nose on the smaller side, as opposed to the exaggerated one in my concept.

I'm trying to look for a celebrity reference for the face that has the same kind of nose, but still no luck.
I rounded out the head a bit more and somewhat exaggerated the jaw for a bit of a cartoony look.

For now I'm working on getting the proportions down. I toned down he muscle definition from the original base mesh since Eddie is supposed to be weak.

I forgot how to add a Ztool with masking, so I just worked on the proportions. I'll have way more done by next week.
